So far, so hoopy. Now I just need to remember the hackery to auto-boot FreeBSD (something to do with setting the loader parameters in openfirmware) and she'll ride.=20 Next tasks:=20 - Compile better kernel - Set dhclient to run automatically on startup - Get X - Get Xfce - Get SXEmacs - Try and get the AIX/PPC binaries for Netscape Communicator 4 to run ;) (Note: The last point is purely "for the lulz", I don't actually intend to use it as my main browser.) Also, re Nathan Whitehorn: Was there not a way to get the UDMA support before it gets into -STABLE? I recall a patch.=20 At any rate i'm running -BETA so it's not as though I care if a few tiny things are slightly imperfect :P=20 Thanks again for all the help: -- Horst. --=-KyfO+VSG8V84cNBt548g Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkjuI3wACgkQRtTtv0BbTe69bwCfcqab9KiR26HO05opD4wzLagW dzYAoJOqZTebEOPKtP79LufjQ0mijWLD =HNfR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-KyfO+VSG8V84cNBt548g--
